Despite several high profile delays, "The Wolverine" now has an official release date: July 16, 2013.
Last June, Fox signed director James Mangold ("Knight and Day," "3:10 to Yuma," "Walk the Line") to the project to replace Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), who dropped out in March.
Christopher McQuarrie ("The Usual Suspects," "Valkyrie") provided a script, set mostly in Japan, and Mark Bomback ("Live Free or Die Hard," "Unstoppable") was signed in September to provide a rewrite.
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" hit theaters in 2009, spinning off of the successful "X-Men" trilogy. It told the backstory of Logan/Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman). That film was expected to be first of a number of films exploring the histories of various X-Men.
The next was supposed to be "Magneto," but it was eventually reworked into last summer's "X-Men: First Class."
